Is jealousy sometimes a good thing?

Every one of us has experienced jealousy somewhere or at some point of our lives. Jealousy has to do with possessiveness in relationships and is different from envy, which is targeted at someone else’s achievements or possessions. Jealousy is born out of other emotions like fear, anger, betrayal and powerlessnes, is it a gud thing?

Our jealousy may be driven by social beliefs. Some of these beliefs that are entrenched in our mindscapes are:

* If my partner loved me completely, he/she wouldn’t love anyone else.
* If your partner finds the company of someone else interesting you need not feel insecure and jump to conclusion that you are not interesting any more and so on.
* If I was a good partner, he/she would not look elsewhere for companionship.
* Suppose your partner starts an affair, stop blaming yourself as the reason and instead of making it a my-problem issue, tackle it as a we-problem issue.

She especially got more worried when she heard how much i sold the Damn animal to my CALABAR neighbours. Cos she knows her backside ai't worth that much. I only keep her around cos she has some AMAZING friends

Jealousy is a good thing if its nt too much, i even love it wen my bf is jealous.

Yh smtyms
sadly my bf s neva jealous bt who knows mayb he hides it

am not d jealous type.

Everybody is jealous at a point in time,even God is a jealous God,
if one claim not be the jealous type,then that person has no feelings of existence.

Jealousy is not a good thing. Protecting your own is however a very different thing,
